About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a tense adventure in "Aventuria: Inn of the Black Boar," an expansion that throws you right into a tight spot! Imagine being accused of treason and thrown into a dungeon, but with a twist: you and your companions must escape in the darkness, armed only with what you can find. This expansion introduces four new heroes ready for action: an Amazon warrior, a street-smart Grolm merchant, a mysterious Buskur, and a battle-hardened mercenary. But the main highlight here is the dungeon crawl mode, recreating the classic first adventure from "The Dark Eye." With random dungeon cards and combat encounters, each playthrough offers a unique and surprising experience. It's the most replayable Aventuria expansion to date! Perfect for those who enjoy a good cooperative challenge with RPG elements and deck building, where dice luck and hand management are crucial for survival. The setting is fantastic, immersing you in a dark fantasy world where every decision matters. If you already enjoy the base game and are looking for more content to explore, this expansion is a must-have. Adventure awaits, but beware, the darkness might hide more dangers than you think!
